Bailey Glasser routinely assists clients with the valuation of businesses and business interests, as well as tangible and intangible assets and complex, hard to value securities, especially in closely-held entities. Business valuation requires a solid grasp of both how value has been created prior to the valuation date, and how it will continue to be created in the future. Our aptitude in dissecting or supporting a business valuation is a multi-disciplinary skill that crosses nearly every substantive area of law we practice.
Overview
The process of value creation does not follow a single path, but rather many paths that vary by industry and the company’s position in its life cycle. Whether in a transaction or litigation setting, Bailey Glasser has high-level experience identifying the strengths, weaknesses, or outright fraud in a business valuation. When we are at the deal-making table, working in conjunction with business and asset valuation experts, we assist our clients in negotiating loan terms and conditions that ensure our clients comply with their financial covenants while providing lenders enough comfort in the value of collateral. Understanding this process is critical to our extensive valuation experience.
Our team can meticulously analyze business valuations for needs that cross nearly every substantive area of law such as:
- Fair Market Valuations
- Retirement Plans
- Litigation over earnouts, working capital adjustments, and any other purchase price dispute
- Piercing the Corporate Veil
- Mergers & Acquisitions
- Buy / Sell Agreements
- Purchase or Sale of Ownership Interest
- Bank Financing
- Tax Assessments
- Business Planning
- Collateral and Credit Bidding in Bankruptcy
